ftp from joomla

Question

there are some backup> transfer extensions for joomla (e.g. akeeba backup) that use ftp to backup/clone a site to another location. they’ve worked everywhere I’ve ever used them…except here…and that’s probably for good reason (since there are risks of course).

how can I make this work for the short time and disable later, yes, I know not particularly safe.

joomla is trying to use an ftp user on port 21, 127.0.0.1, (and I’m using a valid sftp user). but it fails. help me with some basics someone!!?

I’ve complete this (using Joomla3) by using SFTP without installing ptoftpd. Before using it need to check that you have ssh2 php library already installed. To install it on Ubuntu 14.04 (in my case): sudo apt-get install libssh2-php Then use SFTP: host: localhostport: 22user: rootpass: <your pass>

Try installing ProFTPD:

Heya, Droplets do not support FTP by default since it’s an insecure protocol. However, the Droplets’ SSH service does support SFTP to transfer files over SSH, which we highly recommend. Follow our How To Use SFTP to Securely Transfer Files with a Remote Server tutorial and use the following information to log in to the server: Hostname and Port : The hostname is the IP address of the Droplet. The port is 22 by default. Username and Password : The username and password are the credentials you use to SSH into the Droplet. If you are using a root user and you choose password authentication, you need to log in to the Droplet via SSH prior to logging in via SFTP, to ensure your password is set properly. If you choose key-based authentication, you only need to provide the key to the SFTP client. To learn how to connect through SSH, see our tutorial . If you are using FileZilla to connect using SFTP, see our How to Transfer Files to Droplets With FileZilla tutorial. Regards
